September came and we, the class of 1954, mounted McLellan Hill for our three-year stay. We elected our class officers with jack Byron, president, Leon Huard, vice-president, Linda. Scott, secretary, and Ronald Charrier, treasurer. Mr. Ribbons was chosen class advisor and Stu- dent Council members were Bob Stevens and Ronald Charrier. At the end of October the juniors feted us with a dance to Welcome us to the school. The call for football went out and several of the boys of ,54 participated. Well, maybe not too much action but wait 'till next year. Basketball came around and several eager sophs were found dribbling around the gym. During the year the sophomores helped on vari- ous dance committees and took part in the band, chorus, and orchestra. In the fall we returned as juniors and upper- classmen. We elected our class officers and or- ganized ourselves for the year. Ronald Charrier was chosen president and Leon Huard, vice-pres- identg Diane Perkins, secretary, and james Dun- lap, treasurer. Student Council members were Bob Stevens, Diane Giroux, and jack Byron. Mr. Webber was chosen class advisor. Football season started with a new coach, Andy Speed. The juniors, all of one year veterans, were a big help to the team. At the end of October we put on a very successful Sophomore Reception. Basketball season came and the boys, as well as the girls, welcomed it with much enthusiasm. Our Girls' and Boys' State Representatives were Linda Scott, Anna Belliveau, Norman Randall, james Dunlap, and Charles Weston. Highlight of the year was our junior Prom. The juniors working on the committees turned out a well- planned prom with wonderful decorations. Diane Giroux was crowned queen and Ronald Char- rier, king. In the spring, baseball, track, and the one-act play took up much of the juniors' time. September came and found us again mount- ing McLellan Hill, this time as the mighty seniors. We all set out this year with a strong determination to work our hardest and do our best and leave a good memory of the class of 1954. We elected our officers for the year with james Dunlap, president, Charles Thibodeau, vice-president, Diane Giroux, secretary, and Marilyn Greenlaw, treasurer. To represent us on the Student Council were Carolyn Franck, Ron- ald Charrier, and Leon Huard. Mr. Gordon was chosen class advisor. Football season was very successful with our boys coming through and winning the Skowhe- gan-Madison game and losing just one game for the season. Ronald Charrier and Leon Huard were co-captains with fifteen other boys repre- senting the seniors. Kathy Leakos led the cheer- leaders with two other seniors on the squad, jeanine Pelletier and Phyllis Smith. Basketball came and Donald Towle was chosen captain and the coach was Bud Lindquist. Chuck Thibodeau, Harry Turcotte, Ray Bilodeau, Ronald Bedard, and Norman Randall represented the senior boys. Gwen Gilman was captain of the girls' team, with Miss King, coach. Senior girls on var- sity were Kathy Leakos, Diane Giroux, Mary Ann Sidelinger, Mary Bishop, Carolyn Franck, Sandra Steward, and Sally Morse. Hank Thom- as and the Winter Sports boys added some new trophies to our collection. The All-State Band, Chorus, and Orchestra and K. V. concerts were well represented with the class of ,54. Supervis- ing the great amount of work put into the LEVER were Harvard Knowles and Linda Scott as co-edi- tors, with many seniors contributing to the effort. During our three-year stay the class of 1954 was well represented on all the school functions and contributed much to the overall activities of the school. Graduation is our next step and then, along with our diplomas, we will have the won- derful and lasting memories of S. H. S. KATHY LEAKOS, Senior Class Editor SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS . . . D.

We, the Juniors, have had two successful and eventful years at Skowhegan High. We have made great progress in spite of the difficulties and obstacles in our paths. We have taken our full share of prestige in school activities including music, drama, and sports. In scholastic attainment we have, also, an enviable reputation. To the Sophomores for Whom we feel an es- pecially vvarm friendship, we must offer a bit of advice. As our Iunior mantle falls on your shoulders, watch the detentions! To the Seniors, who have often been our friends in need and in deed, we give our hearty appreciation. As Juniors we realize that the guidance and understanding of our teachers has been a great help to us during the preceding years. This influence will carry on as we go out of school life into life's school. CLASS OFFICERS FRANCIS LAFRATTA . President ARISTIDE BOUCHARD Vice-President ROBERT BUSHEY . Treasurer JOHN HANSON ....

The lun- iors were the worthy sponsors. Soon after school began we elected our class oflicers. john Lanctot was elected presidentg Edwina Steward, vice-president, Theoline Leo was elected secretaryg and Robert Laney, treasur- er. Iohn Lanctot, Gail Halliday and Diane Wing were elected to the student council. Mr. Thomas was chosen class advisor. Immediately we began to feel our responsibili- ty toward Skowhegan High School. The call from the band and the glee club director, Mr. Morel, found many eager and willing Sopho- mores. The Sophomore boys contributed a great deal to the school. James Easier, Richard Hall, and Harry Smith received varsity football letters. Leon Worthly and lohn Lanctot also played on varsity. Representing the Sophomore class as cheer- leaders were Calla Trepanier and Esther Good- ness. Basketball season rolled around. The school called on Edwina Steward to play varsity on the girls' team. Beverly Fitzsimmons, Carol jacques, Angela Franck, Dawn Huff, and Christine Scott played V. basketball. Rena Hilton was the I. V. manager. The winter sports team also consisted of many Sophomores. james Easler played varsity basketball for the boys. Bobby Laney played V. basketball. The Sophomores have maintained a high standing scholastically as well as musically and athletically. The Sophomores have had a good start as underclassmen and should be capable and good leaders as upperclassmen. RENA HILTON, Sophomore Class Editor SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS . . . Front row!

Skowhegan Takes Opener Skowhe an 12 . . . Brunswick 7 The Skowhegan Indians went over the first hurdle of the early football season in fine style as they dropped Brunswick I2 to 7 before a large crowd on the home field. The biggest contributing factor to the Indians' victory was probably the determination to win shown by the players from start to end. Of course, intelligent playing, both defense and offense, played a large part. Francis LaFratta scored the first of the two touchdowns in the second quarter after some very liberal gains. Charlie Thibodeau scored the second in the third quarter on a fine 60-yard punt return in which fine blocking by other teammates made it possible. Outstanding on offense were Thibodeau, La- Fratta and Smith while on defense were Dunlap, Huard and Burton. Brunswick 0 0 0 7 - 7 Skowhegan 0 6 6 0 - 12 Skowhegan Takes Second by Scalping Waterville Skowhegan 7 . . . Waterville 0 The Skowhegan Indians avenged a defeat of a year ago of one point at the hands of the Wa- terville Panthers when they dropped the same team by a score of 7 to o in a Friday night game that was so full of tricks that the Panthers were completely stunned. The Indians held the Panthers in one part of the game that was so close that if the Indians hadn't been playing all out the Panthers would have scored. This proved that the Indians were a determined group. The lone score came in the fourth quarter when Thibodeau faked a hand off to Smith and went around left end to score. This and the deceptive extra point that LaFratta made had the Panthers completely baffled. Outstanding on offense were Norm Smith and Bob Stevens, while on defense Dunlap and Huard starred. Waterville 0 0 0 0- 0 Skowhegan 0 0 0 7- 7 Brewer Scores in Fourth Quarter to Beat Indians Brewer 26 . . . Skowhe an 19 Brewer High rallied to score a fourth period touchdown and defeat Skowhegan 26 to I9 before 2500 spectators. jumping to a I9 to o lead in the first period, the Witches found the game all tied up I9 to I9 early in the third period with a fighting tribe of Indians on their neck. In the second period Norman Smith banged across from five yards out. The Indians scored in the third quarter when LaFratta slammed eight yards to paydirt, and Smith tied it up in the third quarter from twelve yards out. But the Witches were not to be denied as they came back to score in the final period, after which the Indians scored again only to have the play brought back because of a clipping penalty. It is hard to pick out any one player in this game that was outstanding because everyone played an all out game. Brewer 19 0 0 7-26 Skowhegan 0 6 013-19 Skowhegan Tops Gardiner for Three out of Four Skowhegan 25 . . . Gardiner7 Skowhegan displayed a crunching ground at- tack in scoring a touchdown in the first period, two in the third quarter and another in the final quarter. Gardiner started strong in the first quarter and apparently scored on a 39-yard pass play. The play was nullified by a penalty and Skow- hegan was in complete domination from that point on. Scoring for the home team were Thibodeau, twice, Easler and Smith. Outstanding for the Indians were Sophomore jim Easler, Charlie Thibodeau, Ronnie Pelle- tier, and Guy Bolduc. 35 Skowhegan Takes Old Town in Stride Skowhegan 27 . . . Old Town 7 Skowhegan's Redskins raided the Old Town High reservation to add another scalp to their fast-growing collection, rolling over the local Warriors 27 to 7. Late in the first period, as Skowhegan's half- back, Norm Smith, reeled off gains of 23 and zo yards to set the stage for the worker, Bob Mc- Neill, former Waterville boy, smashed over right tackle to score from the one-yard line. Thibo- deau booted the extra point. The next touch- down came as Thibodeau threw to Easler who lateraled to LaFratta for the score. Old Town came smashing back and at half time the score was I3 to 7. The third TD came in the third period as Thibodeau scored from one yard out. And in the fourth quarter Norm Smith scored from I4 yards out. Thibodeau, LaFratta, and Smith sparkled in the backfield while the line play of Ron Char- rier, Leon I-Iuard, Dick Hall, and Norm Ran- dall was outstanding. Skowhegan 7 6 7 7--27 OIdTown 0 7 0 0-7 Indians Crush Raiders 47-13 Skowhegan 47 . . . Winslow 13 Caught in the full thrust of the onrushing power of Skowhegan Indians, Winslow tried gamely but with little success, to stem the tribal tide. Francis LaFratta scored three times, Norman Smith, twice, and Ronald Bedard, also twice. Bedard's touchdowns were made on the ancient sleeper pass, with Ronnie catching the two passes of Charlie Thibodeau and sailing goal- ward on the identical plays that covered a total of almost 150 yards. The point after Skowhe- gan's seventh touchdown was scored by Leon I-luard, co-captain and right guard, who came out of his forward wall slot to carry the ball across. McNeill, LaFratta, Thibodeau, and Smith sparked the backfield, as the whole front wall sparked as time after time they broke through to break up play after play. Skowhegan 8 7 12 20 -'47 Winslow 0 0 7 6--13 Indians Tuck Away Sixth Victory Skowhegan 26 . . . Lawrence 6 Once again at Fairfield it was the spectacular work of the Skowhegan line in opening up mammoth holes in Fairf-ield's forward wall that proved the deciding factor. Some of the season's best downfield blocking was experienced as junior halfback Frannie La- Fratta came through with three touchdowns while Norm Smith piled over for the fourth. Fairfield scored its tally in the second half taking the kickoff and marching 7o yards to the lone score. Skowhegan fullback Frannie LaFratta and halfback Norm Smith starred while the rest of the backiield turned in beautiful blocking. Skowhegan 6 12 0 6 - 24 Fairfield 0 0 6 0 - 6 Braves Take Bapst 27-13 First touchdown for the Indians came in the opening period when Francis LaFratta caught a pass from McNeill and raced 50 yards. Smith smashed over for the point. Skowhegan added two more scores in the second stanza. In the third period the Redskins came up with six more points when McNeill scored from four yards out. The entire team, including the subs, played a fine game. Skowhegan 7 14 6 0-27 John Bapst 0 7 0 6 - 13 Skowhegan Dumps Madison for Eight and One Record Skowhegan defeated Madison 39-13, in the local Wigwam before 3500 onlookers, to close their regular season as possible State FF Cham- pions. The Braves scored six touchdowns, two in the first and third quarters, one in the second and fourth. , Madison scored in the third and again in the closing period. . Ronald Pelletier, one of the 15 seniors playing their last game for the Indians, intercepted the aerial and made a beautiful 65-yard run to score. Everyone played a swell game but the Indians were just too much for the Bulldogs as they seemed to score at will. Skowhegan 13 613 7-39 Madison 0 0 7 6-13 37 Over for a touchdown!

Although this was not a very good season, at least something is being done so that in the future we will have teams that will be taking us back to a winning streak again. This is being made possible thru the efforts of Head Coach Bud Lindquist, and P. T. teachers, Andy Speed and Dan Ribbons. 5,-if 'YW3 M- ' nf s 5 .,M,.s,, 5 I g ,t L V13 5 5 ij Jligf 'fa p2 '..?S 0 VV A . e As-X- Xe Wm x ..-1-lf - XX Y X RQ X 40 'Yi I-My.'. G. 1115. 4-Q X RU?

Junior Prom . . . The class of '54 sponsored the Annual junior Prom on the night of May 1, 1953. It was the most successful prom for several years. The class made a profit of seven cents, which is an all-time record! The gym was decorated in the traditional spring pastel shades. jack Byron and his com- mittee should be praised for their decorating originality. In one corner of the gym was a circle of evergreens with a wishing well in the middle and benches around the sides for couples to sit between dances. The room where the cafe- teria tables are kept was opened up and cleaned out for the evening. Over the door was placed the title Out Of This World. Inside, refresh- ments were served by different couples who worked in shifts. The menu featured such in- triguing delicacies as Moon juice, Star Dust and Flying Saucers. Diane Giroux was chairman of the refreshment committee, and we feel that she did an excellent job. We must not forget to mention how hard Mr. Webber worked and also Miss Grant, in the absence of Mr. Webber. Miss Grant deserves the credit for the theme of the evening, Out Of This World. The dance was enjoyed by everyone present. Oscar Brown and his Night Hawks furnished music and Diane Giroux and Ronald Charrier were crowned King and Queen by Mr. Gordon of the faculty. LINDA Scorr, Co-Editor The Senior Bowl Game . . . On a very wet and muddy Wednesday, the 28th of October, 1953, the young Indian Braves of Skowhegan attacked the old warriors of the same reservation. The attack began with a great kick-off by Herb Horatio Libby, a great old warrior from 'way back. The ball was caught behind the goal post and taken for a T. D. by wide base Franny LaFratta, a young brave who is making history for himself on the gridiron. Ronnie Charrier, one of the old warriors with plenty of spirit, romped ninety yards for a touchdown and the score was all tied up. From then on both defensive units settled down and the score was nip and tuck with first one team leading and then the other. It was hard to tell who was who, or what shade of warpaint the papooses and braves were wearing because everyone was cov- ered with mud. Late in the fourth quarter with the old warriors holding a slight edge on the young braves there was a grim battle and the young braves again crossed for a T. D. This proved too much for the veterans and their rheumatism, so the younger reservation won 18 to 12. That night on the reservation proved to be .1 great time for the whole tribe with both young and old showing up for the gala celebration at which Miss Skowhegan was chosen. Miss Petunia Libby was chosen because of her un- matchable talents and popularity with the young braves. Dancing was enjoyed by all for the rest of the evening. JAMES DUNLAP, ,54 Student Council . . . The Student Council sponsored the Winter Carnival Dance to choose the King and Queen, which went off very good. They elected officers for the year of 1953-54. They are: President . . . RONALD CHARRIER Vice-President . LEON HUARD Secretary . . JUDITH WISE Treasurer . . JAMES DUNLAP Sadie Hawkins Dance . . . The first and the most successful dance of the season was the Sadie Hawkins Dance. It was put on by the girls' basketall teams so that they could get enough money to buy warm-up jackets for the varsity players. The dance took place Saturday, October 11, 1953, in the high school gym. The gym was decorated with corn stocks, squash and pumpkins, which gave it a barn- dance effect. Probably the main reasons for such a good turnout were because the girls invited the boys, and because the dance was given after Skowhegan defeated Winslow in football. The dance was very informal, because both the girls and the boys were dressed comfortably in blue jeans and plaid shirts.

It not only is developing into a fine concert band, but has come into its own as a marching band. By means of extensive marching practice, the band was able to put on some good shows during football season. The football rallies were well taken care of by the band under the direc' tion of Ted Casher, student conductor. Football season was terminated by the extensive K'Service Salute given at the Armistice Day game. As soon as football season ended, the band started to rehearse their concert programs. The Hrst concert was given at Bingham on March 26. An invitation was received from the hlalden, Massachusetts High School Band, asking for an exchange concert. The invitation was approved by the necessary organizations and plans made to have them here on April 29 and for our band to go to Malden on May 7. 56 The band played at the Eastern Maine Mu- sic Festival which was held in Farmington. Chorus . . . Every Monday and Thursday, on passing the music room one hears the sound of angelic' CPD voices which belong to the Skowhegan High School Chorus. The SHS chorus is a group to which the school may really point with pride. The chorus not only does an excellent job with traditional melodies, but also sings modern and contempo- rary compositions with good musical feeling. The chorus has been active in the musical life of Slcowhegan. A small group was selected from the chorus to sing at a musicale, the full chorus sang at assemblies, concerts at the Muni- cipal building, etc., and sang at the Eastern Maine Music Festival in May.

Most of us Seniors all seem to be very anxious to graduate. If we would stop and think that our school days are the most happy ones of our lives, we would not be so anxious. It is true that the school work may seem like drudgery some- times, but it is not all work. We all meet a lot of fine friends. After other Seniors have graduated, you will almost always hear them say that they wish that they were in school again or that they had studied more to get the full benefit out of their course. We don't know how fortunate we are to be able to go to school and get a good education which will help us in our future occupation. Why don't we Seniors keep that in mind and set good examples for all the other students? CYNTHIA TAYLon ,54 - Red Gown . . . ' It was red and beautiful and it was simply made for her. It was the loveliest gown. One out of her dreams, but . . . And then that lump came up in her throat again. Why, why, why couldn't her mother understand. Bud would be ashamed of her in that sweet-looking thing. He'd never ask her out again after such a dull evening with such a drab mouse. Yes, this blue dress was the proper one, sweet, demure and very feminine looking. She threw herself across the bed and reviewed the happenings of the past two weeks. Bud was a senior, president of his class, grand in sports, popular and most of all, a nice guy. Until last month he had been all tied up with Janice Whiting, the most popular girl in school. Then the night of the student council dance they had had an argument and broke up. After the news got around every girl had her eye on Bud, and repentant Janice. Then she'd never forget that Thursday. It was two weeks ago yesterday. I-le caught up with her in the corridor and they talked about the geometry assignment. He sat behind her in geometry and she guessed it was pretty tough for him. She'd helped him a few times during study 62 halls but had never thought anything of it. Then . . . I suppose you're going to the Prom. No, l'm not. She hated to admit it but what else could she do? Do you suppose . well, would you go with me? Would she? Boy, I guess! Somehow she stammered 'out that she would love to. Bud Franklin had really asked her - her, Dolly Brooks - to the Prom! She thought she'd burst with happiness. That Saturday she'd dragged -her mother all over town to find the right gown. Then, in Grover's, she'd found it. Red and bouffant and beautiful. Her mother had condescended to let her try it on. lt really doesn't look your type, Dolly. You're only sixteen, you know, and besides it's not at all practical. . After all the arguments her mdther won out. She had to be satisfied with a pale blue, frothy sweet-looking gown. But the memory of that red dress had spoiled everything. The other evening when Bud had asked what color her gown was she had avoided a direct answer and said she guessed white flowers would look best with it. And now - now it was seven o'clock and the Prom began at eight. She should be overjoyed but she wished she could die. She hated that blue gown and her mother and everything. lt's seven o'clock, dear. Don't you think you'd better get dressed, her mother's voice came up the stairs. Quarter of eight and there she was all ready. She didn't think she quite looked like Dolly. She was glad she had let her honey-blonde hair grow. It was down to her shoulders. Those darned freckles on her nose almost didn't show. The door-bell! Suddenly an icy glacier of fright enveloped her. She could hear her father re- marking about the nice weather and Bud's plea- sant comments. Somehow she made it down the stairs and greeted him. Her father coughed embarrassedly and she could read admiration and pride in his eyes. Mother beamed all over. As Bud helped her with her coat she wondered, Maybe I do look okay. Bud seemed in a good mood and they talked all the way to the school. He had his father's car for the evening. Dolly silently prayed that he'd be proud of her and trust everything would be all right. After leaving her 5 coat and adjusting her cor- sage, Dolly rejoined Bud. As they entered the gaily decorated gym it hit her right between the eyes. janice Whiting in her dress. Her red gown. As they started to dance, Bud commented, Did you see janice? Boy, is she attracting at- tention. I think that dress is a little too much, clon't you?', Yes, yes, it was horrible. Bizarre, gaudy, cheap-looking . . . and everything was wonder- ful . . . the whole world, the dance, Bud, her parents, and the blue gown. 1 DIANE PERKINS Senior Alphabet . . .

They kissed alone without hesitation He kissed her once and doulaled it And said, That's multiplication. Her Pa appeared upon the scene, And quickly made his decision. He kicked the lad three blocks away And said, That's long division. 63 0 1 0 1 Connie Adams - Employed at Bell Shops. Carol Appleby - Attending University of Pennsylvania.
